The discount-supermarket chain, which already has a store on the High Street, will be opening an additional branch in 2019.

The new store will open in the first three months of next year and will open where Poundworld, which closed in the summer, used to be.

Poundworld closed all of its stores across the country after administrators were appointed in June. The business hired consultancy firm Deloitte to manage its accounts and find a buyer - however this was largely unsuccessful.

Frozen food specialist Iceland agreed in principle in August to take on 19 empty Poundworld stores, and the Hounslow branch is one of these.

A spokesman for Iceland told us: "We will be opening an additional Iceland store in Hounslow High Street in the first quarter of 2019.

"This is one of 19 stores we have acquired from the administrators of Poundworld."
